My son Dylan (7) is VERY ocd with his collections, at the moment its
string of all sorts and colors and playing cards, plain ones, uno
etc.. he sorts them all into their matching sets and gets very upset
when they get mixed up. he has to take a piece of string into the
shower and i have to have a matching dry piece ready for when he gets
out and switch in the split second that i dry his hair or all hell
breaks loose.

he gets very teritorial with his obsessions and extremley agitated
and upset if he cannot find the one he is looking for.

Cheers
Marie
